Lavar Ball Sends Message to Clippers About Potential Trade for His Son

A few weeks ago his brother, Lonzo Ball, predicted that the Hornets guard would be traded to the Clippers.

Now their father has also chimed in on the idea of Ball being traded to LA.

In a recent video posted on the Big Baller Brand Instagram page, Lavar Ball called for the Clippers to make a trade for his son.

“So, the Clippers! Bring them god damn Ball boys home and let’s go get this championship and quit messing around. All you fans who want a championship back in LA. Yes! Whole new arena with the Ball boys, who ain’t gonna go watch that show?”

There's no questioning LaMelo's talent. The former All-Star averaged 25.2 points and 7.4 assists this past season.

The issues with the Clippers making a move for him lie elsewhere.

First is his injury history. He hasn't reached 50 games played in any of the last season.

The other issue is cost. We just saw what the Grizzlies got for Desmond Bane. The Grizzlies got four first rounders and a pick swap out of the deal.

If the Hornets want anything near that for Ball, he would simply be out of the Clippers' price range.

The first domino that needs to fall his offseason is Durant as he seems to be the priority for the Clippers.

Then from there they can start figuring out what other options work for them.

Ball is a risky proposition, but he could also be the most talented option for them if they miss out on Durant.
